What is NSFC?

In line with the most recent National Weather Service reports predicting heavy rain and thunderstorms now concentrated on Sunday, the New Student and Family Convocation, originally planned for Sunday, August 20, 2023, has been canceled.

New Student and Family Convocation, one of SDSU’s most time-honored traditions, serves as bookend to commencement. Just as commencement is a ritual marking the completion of study, convocation serves as a celebration signifying the beginning of a college or new academic journey.

First-year, transfer and graduate students and their families will receive a commemorative SDSU pin acknowledging this important milestone and signifying their induction into the SDSU community.

Convocation will include remarks from the Interim Provost, Dr. Bill Tong, Interim Vice President for Student Affairs and Campus Diversity, Christy Samarkos, Associated Students President, Tarek Morsy, Aztec Parents Advisory Board Members, and a special welcome message from President, Adela de la Torre.

Who’s invited to NSFC?

We would like to invite all fall 2023 admitted first-year, transfer, graduate students and their families to attend.

The deadline to RSVP is Wednesday, August 16, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. (PT).
